I have posted this a few times with no results. I really don't know where else to post this. If anyone has any ideas I am all ears. I have an incomplete set of Buffalo wire spoke wheels size H4. I am short one wheel center. It has 66 spokes. I have included a picture of a good one. To view this click on "attachment" above this email. Thanks for any help,Robert rp15@mindspring.com

I would like to know what a size H4 is. Is there a chart or some literature that shows the sizes? I recently purchased a 1910 automobile with as set of Buffalo wires on it and I need a front wheel. My tire size is 32x4 and if I am not mistaken that translates to a 24" rim size. Is that an H4 or an H5? I need to know. So if you can help educate me, please do. Better yet, if you have a 24" wheel for sale, please sell it to me.

Thanks......PAI

This is an HC4 type center, the C denoting corregated drive. Uses the same cap as H4 which denotes the older design Houk size #4 which drives with 6 pins thru the wheel center. HC4 type was used on many early 1920s cars, what rim size do you have?

Are your centers the same as pictured? Can you supply picture? On a 1910 car they are a retrofit as Houk wire wheels ( first models of " Buffalo" ) came out as a new product for the 1914 model year.
